This one finally arrived after ~2 weeks, so I took pictures myself Thoughts? I had to sell quite a few coins last weekend, many of which I was greatly attached to, and it might take a long time to feel like getting into the hobby again as a buyer. So I'll just try to enjoy what I do still have, which is mostly copper and Morgans.

I kept most of my stuff but had to let about 40 coins go. I need to finish getting the hospital paid off from my COVID "journey" in 2021!

I see separation between the ribbon and curl so it's XF-40 for me. Sorry to hear of your dilemma. I was forced to part with a slabbed $20 Saint to pay for roof repairs a few years ago and about half of my collection (mostly BU Morgans and other silver series) some years before that. I have since revived quite a bit of the lost collection though some I still regret parting with.

high end 40. hope your health is fully mended.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks NS. I am doing ok. Some long term effects of COVID, mostly heart and lung related, but I still love my coins, and I'm still working hard to keep a roof over my head. :)
CCF is my favorite place to "hang out" when I have some time. There's no better group of folks on the Internet in terms of being friendly, accepting, and passionate about what they enjoy.

Best wishes for your health. A divorce about 11 years ago pretty well cleaned me out, so I know the feeling of putting your kids on the block. I always appreciate your thoughtful comments that are instructive to a new guy like me. I'm at XF40 as well with the slight ribbon separation.
